We want everything in this man’s 35,000 piece Star Wars collection

James Burns, as seen on Collectaholics, is quite fond of Star Wars. We think. (Picture: BBC)

You might think that model of R2-D2 you swiped from a Happy Meal is a valuable bit of Star Wars merchandise, but it’s got nothing on the treasures lurking in this man’s home.

In fact the frankly awesome collection of Star Wars fanatic James Burns – which was showcased on BBC Two’s Collectaholics on Wednesday night – is so huge that it numbers around 35,000 pieces, and features rather more spin-off Lego than you ever imagined existed.

And while the programme initially featured the collection consigned to a sad fate inside a heap of boxes, it all improved vastly once Mel, Sue and antiques expert Mark Hill got their hands on it.

We’ll be honest, any self-respecting Star Wars fan would probably want all of these things immediately:

The collection wasn’t in the best of shapes when we first saw it…

…apart from these items perhaps.

Hands up everyone who wants to just take these out of the box and play with them RIGHT NOW.

Not that anybody was getting to play with anything much at first. Yes, this is all actual Star Wars merchandise in these boxes. Gasp…

Happily, once the experts got their hands on it, it ended up looking like this…

OK we admit it. We want all of it. With the possible exception of the decades-old cereal.
